The Refugee: Narratives of Fugitive Slaves in Canada de Benjamin Drew

The Refugee: Narratives of Fugitive Slaves in Canada

Autor Benjamin Drew
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 feb 2004
Originally published in 1856, these narratives were collected by Boston abolitionist Benjamin Drew (1812-1903), whose trip through Canada was sponsored by the Anti-Slavery Society of Canada and by John P. Jewett, the publisher of Uncle Tom's Cabin. In 1852 the colored population of Upper Canada was estimated to be thirty thousand. Of this large number, nearly all the adults, and many of the children, had been fugitive slaves from the United States. Harriet Tubman was one of the interviewees for this book.

Recenzii

"Through its abundance of firsthand testimony, The Refugee provides a long and heart-wrenching glimpse into a chapter of both U.S. and Canadian history. The eloquent narratives reveal the courage and ingenuity of men and women who first succeeded in escaping the physical and mental torments of slavery, and then built livelihoods from scratch in a different frontier land ... Regardless of the choice of edition, The Refugee is an emotionally powerful and factually detailed nonfiction classic - essential reading for anyone who wants to hear and understand the voices of slavery survivors, and early black settlers in Canada."

Jewett, a renowned anti-slavery sympathizer from Boston who had unexpectedly reaped a fortune from publishing Uncle Tom’s Cabin in 1852.
